Answer 1

The multiple choices are as follows:

A. ​$313,200 B. ​$223,000 C. ​$71,000 D. ​$242,200

The correct option is D,$242,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable costs are costs that vary with the level of output such as the direct labor cost,direct material costs including the packaging costs since the more the output produced the more packaging materials that would be required.

Total variable costs=direct labor cost+direct material cost+packaging costs

direct labor cost is $138,000

direct material cost is $85,000

packaging cost is $19,200

total variable cost=$138,000+$85,000+$19,200=$242,200.

depreciation ,factory insurance as well as the salaries are fixed costs.
